The fact that the Doof had been paired and proved most compatible with Perry, canonically and repeatedly proclaimed to be one of OWCA's best agents in the field, is curious to me.

Some fics have a throwaway line or two talking referring to his compatibility with other agents. I think, also, about the canonical fact that he remains as third most dangerous evil scientist in OWCA's ledger.

I also like thinking about the fact that we have been proven, multiple times, in VARIOUS dimensions and fluctuations to the time space continuem, that were he not continuously thwarted throughout his career, he would not only have achieved tyrannical rule, he would have EXCELLED in it, and perfectly undefeated, EVEN BY HIS EVIL PEERS that people loved to pretend were always more competent than him.

Like. I think about that. Why? What makes Heinz so dangerous? What made everyone else incompatible to a point OWCA realized they needed to send their best, and he needed to be on call ALL THE TIME?

Curious

I noticed you've been making more art of Machete and Vasco after they met again as adults - is this canon? Do they get to rekindle their friendship after all, or is it still brief and bittersweet? (I love your characters and art, btw!)

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

It's canon, I believe. After their confusing and apprehensive friends-to-lovers involvement ended in their early 20's, their paths end up crossing again unexpectedly in their mid 30's and things gradually grow from there.

do you guys ever wonder how many “when i’m a politician...” promises damian has made and that they all somehow revolve around anya

Since the Thousand Sons are inspired by the Ancient Egyptians, wouldn't their Primach, Magnus, also have multiple wives, since the pharaohs also did?

Again apologies for the incoming history lore dump but I’ve got to get my moneys worth from my undergrad.

Ancient Egypt covers thousands of years of history - it was an ancient empire when Rome was young, and old enough for there to be ancient Egyptian archaeologists studying even more ancient Egypt. Cleopatra is closer to us than the pyramids timeline wise. All that to say that sweeping statements about Egypt always come with the caveat that it was around for A LONG ASS TIME and therefore morals and behaviours changed as it went on and anything I say isn’t applicable to all of the kingdoms.

having said that: yes pharaohs had multiple wives. They lived in the harem, which was way more than just a collection of consorts for the pharaohs sexual pleasure - the harem was a deeply political institution, where women schemed and plotted and sometimes even murdered to ensure that their son got onto the throne. Women in ancient Egypt had more political power than you might think - they were ofc subject to their husband or son, but it was considered perfectly normal for a woman to rule as regent while her kid matured and sometimes after.

So yes, if Magnus is acting like a pharaoh and if prospero was ancient Egypt (I really don’t know enough about the lore to say if it is or not) he wouldn’t just have multiple wives from the tribes he had conquered or allied with; he would have a harem of women, some of whom served as advisors; others just as mistresses. His sexual prowess would be an important part of his image - because what use is a pharaoh that can’t maintain his harem? In ancient Egypt that ofc meant lots of children, but in 40k it could manifest differently

also just realising that Magnus and leman really are perfectly opposite. Ancient Egypt was a prosperous society governed by the predictable fertile tides of the Nile crescent and thus could maintain a culture unchanged for centuries. Viking era Scandinavia on the other hand was a hard and brutal land, forcing migration and change. Not sure if it’s reflected in canon - again, not read the books - but if they were acting true to their respective cultural influences, Magnus would probably think leman is a strange, changeable creature and leman would see him as an uptight bastard stuck in his ritual and tradition.

So, according to Vivziepop's pride month post, Octavia is confirmed as asexual.

I wonder if growing up watching adults bringing up sex at the worst times (Stolas at the breakfast table), watching your mom hire a hitman on your dad for cheating, then just watching lust decimate people and everyone around them...

... had anything to do with it 😲

Does this also imply that Octavia is going to pull a "this bloodline ends with me" concerning the Goetia?

(I really want to insert a "(S)he's just like me, for real!" meme here, but my dad got lost with the milk after I was conceived, following after a stillbirth and otherwise steady relationship. Everything else mentioned still applies. God-Speed, my sperm donor, live free.)

was I supposed to know Nobuko Sasaki was the name of Kunikida Doppo's first wife or was I supposed to find that out while looking up Kunikida Doppo's wikipedia article to try to figure out who the "Takekoshi" he mentions at the start of Entrance Exam is

Love it when a man is a dead wife in a movie. So manic pixie dream girl.

Have you ever thought about how happy Fox probably was when the CIS managed to invade Coruscant?

Poor dude spent his entire life being a middle manager and never actually seeing combat - which was, by the way, literally what he was bred for - and finally the war is actually at his doorstep and he gets to go out and fight like his brothers.

I bet it was the second best day of his life.

(The best day being an equal tie between every day he got to spend with Riyo)

anyway i think modern au ruetash should have an age difference because i think thats funny. rue 100% pulls the "youre just like every other old man out there preying on younger girls!" card when they fall out. he takes 10d8 psychic damage at being called an "old man" (40s)

they break up for the 7th time that tenday and rue is tweeting abt how "its always the rich old men who take advantage of the pretty girls" and he replies with "stop calling me old"

rue "youre old enough to be my father" (he isnt) lastname vs enver "how do you do fellow kids" gortash

she buys him happy 50th balloons for his birthday and he cries inside (hes only in his 40s please stop that rue)

rue "when i was 18 you were in you were basically in your 30s haha how weird is that you cradle robber" (shes ~10 years younger)

it gives them a better dynamic with savvy social media user vs man who thinks people actually read emails.
